Pets offer endless love and affection based solely on your buying kibble, which makes them better than any human relationship on the planet. Moreover, pets offer an opportunity to practice your parenting skills before you birth human children.
Try on different roles - the laid back parent, the disciplinarian, the dad who smokes pot with their kid - and see how your pet turns out. If it's not how you'd like it, add another one to your family and start over. If you mess up your pet, he may pee on the carpet out of rebellion, but he won't drag you into therapy and then ask you to pay for it.
